    Hey Everyone,


    I have a two part question.


    I have a two part question. In my first address I had to manually delete the "http://" in my mysql database in order for the URL map link to work. In my second address I choose not to delete the "http://" off in my mysql database and URL map link isn't working. Is there a function in php I can use that will automatically delete a certain number of letters and a : How would I write that code within my below script?


    My second question is, do I have need to have a map address URL in my database to provide a user with a google map. Can I somehow dynamically have a link to the google map without having the info in my database?

    1. Looks sloppy. A quick hack is putting these two lines above echo("\t<tr>\n"); line
    $address = str_replace("http://http://","http://",$address);
    $state = str_replace("http://http://","http://",$state);

    2. You do not need to have the link hard-coded in your database to provide a valid Google Maps resource. These can be easily built dynamically from your already extant datasets.
